The night before returning to China, Yu Hong invited Pei Yu to have dinner at the late restaurant and have an informal conversation.
The two chose a seat by the window of the restaurant, where they could overlook the charming night scenery of Seoul. Yu Hong held up the red wine glass, with unconcealable joy and happiness in her eyes.
Pei Yuchi shook his head politely and refused: "Thank you, I have a bad stomach and can't drink."
After hearing this, Yu Hong apologized quickly, feeling a little surprised and sympathetic. She asked softly: "You are so enthusiastic about treating everyone, but you haven't taken care of your own health, okay?"
Pei Yuchi lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Doctors don't heal themselves!"
"That's not okay. If you don't pay attention to your own health, I can't say anything else." Yu Hong said with anger and a bit of distress.
"As long as you pay attention to diet and rest, it is generally not a serious problem. However, sometimes you have to drink on important occasions, and there is nothing you can do about it."
"At least for us If you feel embarrassed in this circle, just tell me directly," Yu Hong said seriously, "If anyone ignores your health and forces you to drink, just tell me, Xiao Pei, your current status determines your status. Health is not just for yourself, but also your mission."
Pei Yuchi was speechless for a moment, confusion and confusion flashed across his face. He never connected his illness with his mission, treating it as a private matter rather than part of his official duties. There seemed to be some profound meaning in Yu Hong's words that he could not understand, which made him feel a little troubled.
Yu Hong seemed to see Pei Yuchi's embarrassment, and she explained again in a soft tone: "Xiao Pei, you are still so young, your enthusiasm and professionalism, and the important occasion of this visit... The qualities shown are the talents that our propaganda front urgently needs."
Yu Hong said: "The results of this exchange mission are remarkable. This is the style that major country diplomacy should show. The effect far exceeded our expectations. I am very grateful to you and everyone for your support of my work."
"However, it is really important to extract every success point and the results of this exchange and apply it. We can achieve maximum effectiveness in our work. After I return, I plan to have another in-depth discussion with Lao Gu. The work of your TV station has always been the focus of the Propaganda Department, and you have done a good job. As long as we work together, I believe I can do better!"
After hearing Yu Hong's praise, a trace of surprise flashed across Pei Yuchi's face, and he quickly regained his composure. He was not used to such straightforward compliments. Although he was grateful for the minister's affirmation in his heart, he still maintained his usual poise on the outside.
He nodded slightly and said: "The minister has given me the award. We are just fulfilling our responsibilities and completing the tasks assigned by the minister. Success is inseparable from the correct leadership of the minister and the joint efforts of everyone. My performance It’s really the second best. I will continue to study and summarize and provide value to the publicity work as much as possible.”
“You are as good as ever.Low profile. Yu Hong said, "But your contribution cannot be ignored." With young comrades like you who are down-to-earth and full of innovative spirit, I am full of confidence in the prospects of propaganda work. I look forward to you bringing more new ideas and new methods, which will bring our work to new heights. ”
“Thank you, Minister, for your affirmation. My vision is limited. I have benefited a lot from this exchange, and I feel that I still have a lot to learn.” "Pei Yuchi said modestly.
"Okay, being modest is a good thing. " Yu Hong said with a smile, "Some colleagues have expressed doubts about your seniority and experience before, but you have proved yourself with practical actions, which not everyone can do. I am optimistic about you and firmly believe that you will do greater things. This is just the beginning! "
After saying this, Yu Hong's eyes showed obvious appreciation and trust. This surprised Pei Yuchi. He could feel the minister's trust and support for him, and at this time, a warmth grew in his heart.
Suddenly, Yu Hong thought of something and said hesitantly: "Well, you said last time that my spleen and stomach are weak and need to be recuperated... What should I do? I have to fly again tomorrow and I'm a little worried. "
Pei Yuchi quickly said: "Minister, don't worry, this treatment is not difficult. After returning to China, I can develop a detailed conditioning plan for you to adapt to the changes in the seasons. If you have any discomfort in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time. I can also introduce you to several other fellow Chinese medicine practitioners who can also provide professional advice. ”
“Then I’ll trouble you.” Yu Hong said with a smile, "With your advice, I feel more relieved." I finally found a trustworthy health consultant! "
The two looked at each other and smiled. During this trip to South Korea, Yu Hong and Pei Yuchi established a deep friendship and tacit understanding. Pei Yuchi also felt that the true face of the female minister seemed more... To be lively and amiable
...
Before the plane took off, Pei Yuchi received a short message from Xiao Liao: "Teacher Pei, I'm sorry, we failed. , Jiangnan TV won the bid... See you at the airport later! "
He looked out the window, his sight blurred by the beautiful scenery outside the window. The message on the screen still lingered in his mind, and those few short words made his mind move slightly, but they were also there. As expected.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears. Pei Yuchi turned around and saw that it was Xiao Jia. He bent down and handed over the ticket and said, "Teacher Pei, the minister has arranged it for you." Upgrading, she said Director Gu told her that you have been in poor health recently, and if this trip is too hard, please ask her to take good care of you. "
Pei Yuchi took the ticket, surprise flashed across his face, and then he shook his head and said, "This is not in compliance with the regulations. Thank her for me. If the minister feels unwell, I can go over and check on him at any time. "
Seeing Pei Yuchi's firm attitude, Xiao Jia said with an expression of embarrassment: "She feels that you have been working too hard recently and need to take good care of yourself..."
"Thank you, Jia Secretary, you really don’t have to! "Pei YuchiHe replied non-negotiably.
Xiao Jia nodded helplessly, "Since you said that, I have no choice but to go back and tell the minister your decision. Take care of yourself and call me if you need it." After that, Xiao Jia said to Pei Yuchi Nod, then turn and leave.
Xiao Jia returned to the business class, and Yu Hong was a little surprised to see him coming back alone. "Isn't he coming?"
Xiao Jia shook his head helplessly and repeated Pei Yuchi's words.
Yu Hong sighed: "He is always so rigorous."
"Teacher Pei said that if you need him, Minister, he can come over at any time." Xiao Jia said, "He just I feel that I must follow the rules and not break the rules for personal reasons."
Yu Hong sighed and looked out the window. At this time, the plane had left the airport and was flying smoothly in the sky.
Outside the window, twilight is closing in, the sun is setting in the west, and there is still a touch of red clouds on the horizon, dyeing the clouds into layers of pink.
The mountains in the distance seem to be dyed with a hazy color under the color of the sky, beautiful and dreamy.
……
The arrival hall of the airport was bustling with activity, and members of the inspection team laughed and hugged each other to say goodbye. The 10-day trip to South Korea made them develop deep feelings. Now they are about to say goodbye, and everyone has a look of reluctance on their faces.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Pei Yuchi stood aside with a warm smile on his face. His eyes shone with wisdom. Many female colleagues came up to him and joked about hugging him goodbye. Pei Yuchi also opened his arms generously and hugged them one by one.
At this moment, Pei Yuchi completely lost the seriousness and restraint he had before, and was replaced by a friendly and natural charm.
His eyes radiated with wisdom and a gentle smile. Even when women made some exaggerated jokes to him, Pei Yuchi only blushed, not He seemed at a loss, as if he was used to the love and attention from the opposite sex.
Minister Yu Hong walked up to Pei Yuchi and seemed to be affected by his friendly charm. A rare smile appeared on his usually serious face.
She nodded to Pei Yuchi, as if to say, I understand you and why everyone loves you so much. Pei Yuchi nodded to her knowingly.
She smiled and patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. This trip to South Korea was very successful. Go back and have a good rest. I will inform you after I have arranged the follow-up summary report. Please remember. Pay attention to what I told you and take good care of yourself."
Pei Yuchi smiled knowingly and nodded: "Thank you, Minister, I have learned a lot. I will carefully organize the information and prepare a summary. Report and get ready."
Everyone left in twos and threes. Pei Yuchi glanced into the hall and was the last one to leave. Xiao Liao drove away slowly.Airport.
The setting sun cast its golden light over the horizon, illuminating the edge of the sky.
……
Xiao Liao was driving, feeling very uneasy. He wanted to wait for Pei Yuchi to speak first.
He glanced at Pei Yuchi uneasily in the rearview mirror. He never spoke, but looked out the window quietly with a calm expression. It's like there is some incomprehensible emotion hidden inside.
The sound of the engine echoed in the car, and just like that, without talking all the way, we finally arrived at the door of our house.
Pei Yuchi said calmly: "Go back and rest peacefully."
Through the car window, Xiao Liao saw Pei Yuchi's slender figure walking towards him under the light. He waved his hand, and then turned into a blurry shadow.
……
Outside the glass wall of the office, fine raindrops hit the glass, leaving water marks.
Shia raised her head the moment she heard the sound of rain. The rain curtain blurred the outline of the city, making the surrounding scenery look dim.
She sighed and looked back at the computer screen. The news that Pei Yuchi was hired as South Korea's cultural exchange ambassador was still clearly visible.
The plan on the coffee table looks lonely against the backdrop of the rainy day, like an unfulfilled dream. She felt a little cold, but when she touched her arm, she realized that the chill seemed to come from within.
Maplewood TV lost the qualification to win the bid for the artificial intelligence media project in cooperation with Taihao Technology. This result surprised Shia.
In the preliminary preliminary stage of the plan, Maplewood TV’s proposal was obviously better than its competitor Jiangnan Satellite TV, but in the end the jury voted and decided to choose Jiangnan Satellite TV, which was 30% lower than Maplewood TV’s offer, as the winning bidder. But this was the final result reached through voting by the group's senior management, and as the CEO of the branch, she had no decision-making power.
She admired Pei Yuchi's plan very much, but in such a sure-fire project, Pei Yuchi failed. Even Xia, as the party A, felt very sorry. This result was really unexpected.
She didn't know what Pei Yuchi would think after learning the news, but so far, Pei Yuchi hadn't even called her, which made Shia feel a little puzzled. Is she just so happy to be a Korean Oppa and leave all her work behind?
In fact, Xia herself couldn't explain why she cared so much about Pei Yuchi. She always felt that there was an indescribable comfort in working with Pei Yuchi, and the tacit understanding and trust were even more valuable.
Being unable to continue to cooperate with Pei Yuchi this time, Xia's loss was far beyond her expectation, but when she tried to find the reason, she couldn't explain it.
She turned on her phone and found Pei Yuchi's profile picture quietly in her contacts. Shia's fingers lightly brushed over the familiar name. She remembered for no reason the scene of discussing work with Pei Yuchi. The pleasure felt so reasonable.Of course.
She originally thought that there would be more cooperation in work, but she did not expect that the result would be so abrupt, which caught Shia off guard.
She bit her lip and silently ran her fingers over the screen of her phone. She was constantly thinking about what she wanted to say. How should she say it more appropriately?
How about asking about the current work situation and then talking about the failure of the bidding naturally?
Siya hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but press the dial button. The moment the phone rang softly, she felt that such an unsolicited call seemed inappropriate.
Damn it, as Party A, she should wait for Party B's contact. Wouldn't it be too proactive for her to go and ask so eagerly? So I quickly hung up the phone before the answer was answered...
At this time, Ni Ke knocked on the door and came in with apologies written on his face, saying: "Xia, I'm sorry, I know you must be very surprised Feng Lin TV will eventually lose the qualification to win the bid for this project."
Xiya said with a helpless expression: Yes, according to our evaluation, the plans of Jiangnan TV and Maple TV were comparable, and the results were voted on. But such a reversal made me really confused.
Xia couldn't help but frowned and said: "Ni Ke, are you sure there is no information leakage within the company?"
Ni Ke explained patiently: "I understand. Your idea, but the company has conducted careful inspections and found no signs of leaks. The main reason why Jiangnan TV won the bid was that their price was 30% lower than Maplewood TV, and the plan itself also met the standards. Marketing and promotion has certain advantages, so it will eventually get a certain number of votes to support the approval."
Xiya stroked her chin and said thoughtfully: "Jiangnan Satellite TV's was less than 30% of Maple Leaf TV's. If the price is quoted, Jiangnan Satellite TV is not afraid of losing money? After all, the contract terms have been signed, and we will not invest additional money if it exceeds the budget."
Ni Ke continued: "Maybe Jiangnan Satellite TV will only make an investment this time. Wanting to expand market influence. In fact, there is another reason that proves that the group's senior management lacks confidence in this project, so it prefers partners with low quotations. For Jiangnan Satellite TV, this seems to be a short-term loss, but in the long term, it will open up the market. and strategies to expand influence.”
